I'm a Fedora newbie trying to install. I've been using unix / bsd /

Downloaded the .iso files, verified md5sum, burned them to CDs, and
verified the CDs. When I boot on disc 1, it boots and takes me through
a series of questions ending with a choice of where to find the files.
I say on the local CD/ROM and it accesses the CD, but then comes back
telling me that it is unable to find the Fedora Core CD on any of my
drives. I've tried this multiple times and it is always the same.

Often booting into installation with "linux ide=nodma" help in such
cases. Maybe it is even enough to switch off DMA for the CD-ROM device
with "linux cdnodma".

Thanks much, "linux cdnodma" didn't do it, but "linux ide=nodma" did.
Does this mean I will not be able to use dma on my ide hard drive either?
